1. Fact 1. Driveway Gravel in Ireland (2012 update)

Description:

Facts ; If you want to make a good driveway from Driveway Gravel or pebble supplied by www.wesellstone.com here are some useful tips!

 

Problem : The biggest challenge with laying a gravel driveway in Ireland before www.wesellstone.com found the solution was the movement of the driveway gravel underneath your feet, bicycle, motor vehicle etc. Once the decorative or coloured gravel moved you would often see a black patch where the sub base or “804” ( crushed stone used as the material in forming the driveway ) moved. This was uncomfortable to move on and not attractive to look at! Loose chippings also end up getting stuck in shoes etc and damaging wooden floors inside the house.

 

SOLUTION : Basically our product number 10 . Tipperary Gravel and Pebble Holding Dust is the solution. We recommend that you apply a 50/50 combination of Tipperary Gravel and Pebble Holding Dust and your choice of decorative gravel or pebble. ( Simply 1 bag of Tipperary Gravel & Pebble Holding Dust to 1 bag of gravel of your choice!).

Tip for small pathways etc. : It can be spread manually from the bulk bag using a wheel barrow and shovel and a manual roller or a small compactor from your local Hire shop.


Tips for larger projects :

1. Hire a Teleporter from your local plant hire centre and use this to carry the bulk bags, place the bag over the area of application and cut the bag using a Stanley Knife etc. First spread the Tipperary Gravel & Pebble Holding Dust and then spread it and afterwards apply the Decorative Gravel of your choice. ( Remember it is better to apply more Tipperary Gravel & pebble Holding Dust as it is too late once the gravel goes on top! ). Hire a roller / compactor from your local tool hire centre and pack the dust and gravel together. ( If it is very dry you may need a hose pipe to dampen the material to ensure better compaction, this is usually not a problem in Ireland !)

2. If you are, buying bulk loads, the same principle applies. However we recommend the use of bags as the problem with bulk loads is that when you get to the bottom of the load it is impossible to avoid soiling with the existing sub base etc.

Good Luck and remember every driveway has a golden lining!!!!!!!!!!!!
